Check Fraud Charges for Anne Hathaway's Boyfriend

Anne Hathaway's boyfriend surrendered to the police at the Midtown North station house to face check kiting charges. The Post reports that Raffaello Follieri's $215,000 company check bounced--and the account only had $39.98 in it.

The Daily News reports the check, written out to John Morrongiello, did not clear a number of times, but finally did recently. Follieri's lawyers say since Morrongiello did not withdraw his complaint, the young Italian investor went willingly (but the Post adds that earlier this week, the cops went to Hathaway's apartment to ask about Follieri's whereabouts, to the point where Hathaway broke down and cried!). Lawyer Cyrus Vance Jr. said, "He received a summons today which asks him to return in mid-May. He's looking forward to talking to law enforcement about the appropriate response."

This is not the first business problem for Follieri, who is being sued by billionaire Ron Burkle. Burkle had invested $55.6 million with Follieri, for a Roman Catholic Church real estate project, but now says Follieri used over a million to wine and dine Hathaway. Okay, not just wine-and-dine--there's also the "40,000 a month" apartment, "dog care" and "inappropriate jet travel" charges, too.
